Glasgow.

The following obituary is written by a sister of deceased, residing in Washington D.C.:

Died in Washington, D. C., Jan. 28, 1921, Margaret M., daughter of the late Andrew J. and Elizabeth T. Walker, of Hillsgrove [sic], McDonough county, Illinois, and wife of Douglas Glasgow.

She was left an orphan in her early teens bereft of both parents within a few days, and her elder sisters and brothers strove successfully to supply the home life, and the loving care she had lost.

She prepared herself for teaching, and practiced that profession for several years with great satisfaction to her pupils and their friends.

She virtually lived her entire life in the neighborhood where she was born, until when their children were ready to enter university. Mr. and Mrs. Glasgow moved to Urbana, to make a home for them during their college life. Mr. Glasgow soon heard the call to come up higher and went home to the land of many mansions. She still continued her residence in Urbana, and lived for the long happy reunions of the family during the summer vacations, until last autumn, being in poor health, she came with her daughter to Pittsburgh and Washington, to see if change of climate and environment and the services of eminent physicians would bring relief from her malady. All was in vain, she gradually grew weaker and with her dearest around her, she sweetly and painlessly fell asleep.

Her children and family are not the only ones who feel themselves bereaved, but many who have been neighbors and friends are feeling a keen sense of loss in her going, in all the relations of life, as daughter, sister, wife, mother, teacher, friend and neighbor. It could be said of her, more emphatically than most, that "none knew her but to love her."

She has been a valued member of the M. E. church since her early girlhood, quietly living the profession she made and ready to do with her might what her hands found to do.

She leaves two daughters, a daughter-in-law, two sons, one brother, and a number of nieces and nephews, one grandniece and other relatives, who all loved her fondly.

After a funeral service in the chapel of beautiful Glenwood cemetery, gentle hands laid the flower covered casket in the vault to remain until the summer comes again, when it will be laid in the low green tent whose curtain never outward swings, beside her husband and two sons, whose freed spirits were waiting her coming in the Glory Land.

The whereabouts of another sister, Sarah Isabelle (Walker) Glasgow (married Amos Robert Glasgow), still living as of January 1, 1920, are unknown.
